Ratings and Reviews
Decent News App but needs Home button
Overall a fairly decent news app focusing on Ireland news, and easy to navigate between categories including weather forecasts.
However it needs a Home button at the top of the App. The reason being is that you can advance to the top 5 news stories at the end of each news article, but you can only get back to the home page by flipping back through each news article you’ve read.
A bit of a rookie error really for the app developers.
Inferior to the RTÉ news website so the app is pointless
This app continues to violate apple’s App Store guidelines and should be removed until it resolves them. Violations include: 1. invalid app support link on App Store, it brings you to a broken page, so there is no way to contact the developer. 2. deliberately BLOCKS you from sharing using iMessage, but allows every other sharing option in the share sheet. Other bugs: return to an article from multitasking and the app will ignore where you were reading and send you back to the top of the article. Picture in Picture support does not work correctly. In all other apps you can full screen the PiP window to return to the full screen video in app. In RTÉ news now you will always have to start the video from scratch when you return to an app which is really poor if you’re watching live sports etc. This app serves no purpose other than to say “we have an app”. Delete it and use the website.
Prove you are not a robot!?
I really like this app even though it has some bugs I still use it for my news fix, but I tried to create an account and was blocked by a ‘prove you’re not a robot’ command that I couldn’t find a solution to. I may find the solution if I dig deeper but I use this app because I’m busy so I would expect the solution to be next to the command. I have to keep telling it where I live for weather etc unless I can create the account 🤷♀️
